First Half: Goal! 0-1, Valencia taps in from close range at the far post from Rooney's curling cross. Goal! 0-2, Spahic heads into his own goal from Rooney's free kick.
Half Time: 0-2.
Second Half: Goal! 0-3, Rooney's close range shot is parried to Evans who taps in. Goal! 0-4, Kagawa puts Rooney through on goal who chips the ball over the keeper and Smalling is on hand to tap in from close range. Goal! 0-5, Giggs plays a through to Nani who takes the ball round the keeper and coolly finishes from an acute angle.
Full Time: 0-5.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Rooney. Bayer Leverkusen put United under real pressure in the opening stages but managed to rather dramatically crumble as the game went on. They seemed in awe of Giggs and just could not handle an in form Rooney. United were simply brilliant. Moyes and the team really needed that sort of result to try and kickstart their season. Rooney and Giggs starred in what turned out to be a rout.
Manchester City 4 v 2 Plzen Aguero (pen 33), Horawa (43), Nasri (65), Tecl (69), Negredo (78), Dzeko (89)
First Half: Penalty! Handball inside the area. Goal! 1-0, Aguero sends the keeper the wrong way and finds the bottom corner. Goal! 1-1, Horava strikes from the edge of the box to level the match.
Half Time: 1-1.
Second Half: Goal! 2-1, Nasri slots home at close range from Navas' cross to put City back in front. Goal! 2-2, Tecl slots low into the far bottom corner from close range to level the match again. Goal! 3-2, Negredo taps in from close range Navas' cross to give City the lead. Goal! 4-2, Dzeko ends the match after heading in at the far post from Milner's corner.
Full Time: 4-2.
My Opinion:
My man of the match was Navas. Man City were defensively poor today but made up for it with their attacking power. The victory keeps City in hunt for top place in the group but they will have to beat Bayern away in the final group match. Plzen kept going during the game until they were put behind for a third time but they definitely gave a good account of themselves.
Best Goal of the Night: Nani
